Yummy & Useful

As promised the product of my new aims. A perfect little zipper, handy for all those things that lurk at the bottom of a handbag. I had to get that little pink coat in. Delightful.

Girls who love horses by Heather Ross

I saw this delightful fabric by Heather Ross, while blog hopping.

New kokka range

 I am always on the look-out for horse fabric and I still have a little stash of original Heather Ross horse fabric.

original horse fabric

  This new line will be available from Kokka from spring 2011, but some prints are available from Spoonflower in different colours.

Are they serious?

Tonight I started to look for a little bit of horse fabric that Heather Ross had produced, so I browsed around etsy. I was minding my own business and not really finding what I was after...... and then I noticed the ridiculous prices that some retailers are listing at.

Now I am a self-confessed fabric junkie, and would go to extreme measures to get something I really wanted, but $45 (£30) for a fat quarter? I ask you; are they serious???

I know Heather Ross produces amazing fabrics and that so many are hard to find because they are out of print, but are they really worth it? I have several of these hard to find fabrics and have used many of them as linings in  my bags, I love them but would not spend that much money on a little square of fabric that probably originally retailed at about $8 a yard.

I suspect I will have to admire them from afar or wait until she releases more patterns to spoonflower. In the mean time something to drool over.
